Epistemologia do registro e da organização do conhecimento no contexto da saúde: o caso do registro do paciente

Abstract

In this paper, we present the results of an investigation in which the object of study is the epistemology of treatment and the patient’s record, containing aspects of the organization of recorded knowledge in these documents, supporting us in the linguistic elements. We attempted to answer the following question: What aspects of linguistic text that can contribute to the index representation of a patient's records in order to recover quality information? The goal is to map the phrases in order to build a conceptual map for the information contained in the records. It was identified more than 1000 phrases and it was built a concept map in the software CmapTools, according to the elements of textual linguistics, cohesion and coherence. In the first case, we mapped the phrases pertaining to endophoric references (anaphora, substitution, elision, conjunction, lexical cohesion). In relation to coherence it was identified the linguistic, pragmatic, and extra-linguistic domain. We conclude that the textual linguistics has great contribution in the informational treatment of patient records, therefore, offers "tracks" for information retrieval with more quality in the Medical Records and Statistics Services.
